~3-LACTAMASE INHIEITORS AND METHODS OF ITSE THEREOF
CR~SS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
The present application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. ~ 119(e) of
provisional
application 60/477,636, filed June 10, 2003, which is hereby incorporated
herein by
reference in its entirety.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to inhibitors of,~-lactamase and methods of
use thereof. Specifically, the invention relates to non-/3-lactam-based
inhibitors of (3-
lactamase.
PACI~~Il~OIJI~~TD ~F TIE Ii~TVEh~1'~"I~~T
Drug resistance to antibiotics, especially ~3-lactam antibiotics such as
penicillin, cephalosporin and related compounds is one of the most serious
problems in
the treatment of infectious diseases (Neu, SeierZCe, 257, 1064-1073 (1992)).
It represents
not only a significant medical problem but a major public health and economic
burden.
between 190 a~ld 1992, the death rate, due to infectious diseases as the
underlying
cause of death, increased 5~°/~, from 4.1 to 65 deaths per 100,000
population in the U.S.
~.ge adjusted mortality from infectious diseases increased 39°!'~ dux-
ing the saa~~e period.
Infectious disease morality increased 25°/~ among those aged 65 years
and older (from
271 to 33~ per 100,000) and 6.3 times among 25-44 year olds (from 6 to 3~ per
100,000). I~Iortality due to respiratory tract infections increased
20°f° (from 25 to 30
deaths per 100,000). lZeports from the Center for Disease Control (CI7C)
indicate that
two million Americans acquire infections in hospitals each year, the cost of
which runs
to an estimated $4.5 billion. Of these infections, 70% are due to microbes
that are
resistant to one or more antibiotics and in 30-40% of the infections the
causative microbe
is resistant to first line treatment. The rate at which patients acquire
infections in
-1-

WO 2005/004799 PCT/US2004/018624
hospitals rose by 36% in 1995 compared with 1975. In 1995, 35.9 million
patients
entered hospitals in the U.S. compared with 37.7 million patients in 1975. For
the same
period, lengths of hosptial stays dropped to an, average of 5.3 days from 7.9
days due to
managed health care guidelines. However, the number of infections per 1,000
patient
days rose to 9.77 from 7.18.
Without being limited to any particular theory or mechanism of action, it
is believed that evolutionary selection and genetic transformation have made
this
problem pressing. Most antibiotic drugs are derivatives of naturally occurring
bactericides (Davies, Science, 264, 375-382 (1994)), and many resistance
mechanisms
evolved long ago. Human use of antibiotics has refined these mechanisms and
promoted
their spread through gene transfer (Davies, Scief2ce, 264, 375-382 (1994)). A
resistance
mechanism originating in one species of bacteria can be expected to spread
throughout
the biosphere.
,6-lactam antibiotics inhibit bacterial cell wall biosynthesis (Tomasz, Rev.
Infect. I9is., 8, 5270-5278 (1986)). They form covalent complexes with and
consequently inactivate a group of transpeptidases/carboxypeptidases called
the
Penicillin )3inding Proteins (P>3Ps). PEP inactivation disrupts cell wall
biosynthesis,
leading to self lysis and death of the bacteria. ~-lactam antibiotics have
been widely
prescribed. In the absence of resistance, ~3-lactams are the first choice for
treatment in 45
of 78 common bacterial infections (Goodman ~z Gilman's The
.~lac~a~fnezc~l~~icr~l Rczsis ~f
They~czpezstics (Hardman et al., eds., MeGraw-Hill, New York, 1996)).
J3acterial adaptations to ,Q-lactam drugs (e.g., amoxicillin, cephalothin,
clavulanate, and a~treonam) are among the best studied and most pernicious
forms of
antibiotic resistance. Without being limited to any particular theory or
mechanism of
~~tion5 it is bel~e~ed that ba~,leria use see~eral clifferel~t ra~echar~~~nm

(1992) T.<i et al.,
Aizt'irzaicr~~Lz. A,~-etzt',r ~'lac~z~thei~., 39, 1948-1953 (1995)). Probably
the n post widespread
is the hydrolysis ~f,~-lactams by ~-lactamase enzymes.
~3-lactamases are endogenous bacterial enzymes that destroy ~3-lactam
antibiotics and eliminate their efficacy. The name derives from their ability
to cleave the
f3-lactam ring. The structures of many,-lactamases are known at the atomic
level and
available in the protein database. At least four classes of (3-lactamases are
known:
Glasses A, D, C and D. At the clinical level, the 111oSt important ~-
lactamases belong to
Class A (TENT) and Class C (AmpC). TEM and Amp-C are serine hydrolases and
have a
-2-

critical serine in their catalytic site. TEM and AmpC) among different
bacterial species
share high sequence identity and structural similarity (Galleni, et al.,
Biochem. J., 250,
753-760 (1988); Galleni, et al., Biochem. J., 250, 753-760 (1988); Usher et
al.,
Biochemistry, 30, 16082-16092 (1998)).
One way to overcome the negative effects of (3-lactamases is to use
molecules that neutralize the action of,~-lactamase (known as ,~-lactamase
inhibitors or
inhibitors of,~-lactamase) in combination with antibiotics. The three ,Q-
lactamase
inhibitors currently in clinical use (clavulanic acid, sulbactam and
tazobactam) are all
transition state analogs that utilize the same ~3-lactam core that is present
in the
Z O antibiotics themselves.
The similarity between the ~3-lactam antibiotics and ~3-Iactam-based ~i-
lactamase inhibitors has proven to be a serious problem. Resistance to such (3-
lactam-
based ~3-lactamase inhibitors arises through modifications of previously
susceptible
mechanisms. Certain mutations in ,Q-lactamase, for example, reduce the
effectiveness of
15 ~3-lactam-based ~i-lactamase inhibitors while preserving the ability of the
(3-lactamase to
hydrolyze the antibiotic molecules. Certain point substitutions in (3-
lactamases allow the
enzymes to hydrolyze compounds designed to evade them (Philippon et al.,
Antimicrob.
~1~-e3zts Chemotlaei°., 33, 1131-1136 (1989)). ~ther substitutions
reduce the affinity of (3-
lactam inhibitors for the enzymes (Saves, et al., J: Biol, ClZem., 270, 18240-
18245
20 (1995)) or allow the enzymes to simply hydrolyze them. Furthermore, several
gram-
positive bacteria (e.g., Stapla. Aureus) have acquired sensor proteins that
detect ,Q-lactams
in the environment of the cell ()3ennet and Chopra, Antimierob. ~l~ents
Chemotherapy,
37, 153-158 (1993)). ~-lactam binding to these sensors leads to
transcriptional up-
regulation of the ,Q-lactamase. ,~-lactam-based ,~-lacta ease inhibitors,
thus, can induce
25 tlm laroclucti~n oaf the enzyme that they are nmant t~ iz~ahibit,
p~°eventing or a~ed~.~cia~g their
efficacy.
without being limited to any particular theor-~r or mechanism of action, it
is believed that one reason that bacteria have been able to respond rapidly
with "new"
resistance mechanisms to ,~-lactam-based inhibitors is that the mechanisms of
action of
30 the inhibitors axe not, in fact, new, because ~3-lactamases have evolved
mechanisms for,
e.g., sensing and/or hydrolyzing such molecules. Accordingly, as long as
medicinal
chemistry focuses on ,~-lactam-based molecules to overcome (~-lactamases,
resistance
can be expected to follow shortly.

One way to avoid recapitulating this "arms race" between bacteria and ~i-
lactams is to develop non-(3-lactam inhibitors that have novel chemistries and
are
dissimilar to ~3-lactams. Such non-~i-lactam inhibitors would not themselves
be degraded
by ,Q-lactamases, and mutations in the enzymes would not be expected render
such
inhibitors labile to hydrolysis. Such novel inhibitors would also escape
detection by ~3-
lactam sensor proteins that up-regulate ,Q-lactamase transcription, and may be
unaffected
by porin mutations that limit the access of (3-lactams to PBPs. Such
inhibitors would
allow the current ~'-lactam antibiotics to effectively work against bacteria
where ~i-
lactamases provide the dominant resistance mechanism.

acids are inhibitors of certain (3-lactamases (I~oehler and Lienhard, (1971);

An active metabolite is a compound which results from metabolism of
another compound after administration of the latter to a subject. Metabolites
can be
identified by techniques well-known in the art.
Formulation and Administration
Suitable dosage forms include but are not limited to oral, rectal, sub-
lingual, mucosal, nasal, ophthalmic, subcutaneous, intramuscular, intravenous,
transdermal, spinal, intrathecal, infra-articular, intra-arterial, sub-
arachinoid, bronchial,
lymphatic, and infra-uterille administration, and other dosage forms for
systemic delivery
of active ingredients.
To prepare such pharmaceutical dosage forms, one or more of the
aforementioned compounds of formula (1), alone or in combination with (3-
lactam
antibiotics, are intimately admixed with a pharmaceutical carrier according to
conventional pharmaceutical compounding techniques. The carrier may take a
wide
variety of forms depending on the form of preparation desired for
administration.
In preparing the compositions in oral dosage form, any of the usual
pharmaceutical media may be employed. Thus, for liquid oral preparations, such
as, for
example, suspensions, elixirs and solutions, suitable carriers and additives
include water,
glycols9 oils, alcohols, flavoring agents, preservatives, coloring agents and
the like. For
solid oral preparations such as, for example, powders, capsules and tablets,
suitable
carriers and additives include starches, sugars, diluents, granulating agents,
lubricants,
binders, disintegrating agents and the like. I~ue to their ease in
administration, tablets
and capsules represent the most advantageous oral dosage unit form. If
desired, tablets
may be sugar coated or enteric coated by standard techniques.
For parenteral formulations, the carrier will usually comprise sterile
v,~ater~ though other ingredieuts~ for e~~an~ple~ ilagredients that aid
solubility or fear
preservation, may be included. Injectable solutions may also be prepared in
which case
appropriate stabilising agents may be employed.
In some applications, it may be advantageous to utilise the active agent in
a "vectorized" form, such as by encapsulation of the active agent in a
liposome or other
encapsulant medium, or by fixation of the active agent, e.g., by covalent
bonding,
chelation, or associative coordination, on a suitable biomolecule, such as
those selected
from proteins, lipoproteins, glycoproteins, and polysaccharides.
Treatment methods of the present invention using formulations suitable
for oral administration may be presented as discrete units such as capsules,
cachets,

tablets, or lozenges, each containing a predetermined amount of the active
ingredient as a
powder or granules. Optionally, a suspension in an aqueous liquor or a non-
aqueous
liquid may be employed, such as a syrup, an elixir, an emulsion, or a draught.
A tablet may be made by compression or molding, or wet granulation,
optionally with one or more accessory ingredients. Compressed tablets may be
prepared
by compressing in a suitable machine, with the active compound being in a free-
flowing
form such as a powder or granules which optionally is mixed with a binder,
disintegrant,
lubricant, inert diluent, surface active agent, or discharging agent. Molded
tablets
comprised of a mixture of the powdered active compound with a suitable carrier
may be
made by molding in a suitable machine.
A syrup may be made by adding the active compound to a concentrated
aqueous solution of a sugar, for example sucrose, to which may also be added
any
accessory ingredient(s). Such accessory ingredients) may include flavorings,
suitable
preservative, agents to retard crystallization of the sugar, and agents to
increase the
solubility of any other ingredient, such as a polyhydroxy alcohol, for example
glycerol or
sorbitol.
Formulations suitable for parenteral administration usually comprise a
sterile aqueous preparation of the active compound, which preferably is
isotonic with the
blood of the recipient (e.g., physiological saline solution). Such
formulations may
include suspending agents and thickening agents and liposomes or other
microparticulate
systems which are designed to target the compound to blood components or one
or more
organs. The formulations may be presented in unit-dose or mufti-dose form.
Parenteral administration may comprise any suitable form of systemic
delivery or delivery directly to the CI~TS. Administration may for example be
intrawenou~, intra-anterial9 ntrathecal9 intramuscular~ s~.~bcutaneod2s~
i~~tran~a~sculaz~ intr~-
abdominal (e.g., intraperitoneal), etc., and may be effected by infusion pumps
(es~ternal
or implantable) or any other eatable means appropriate to the desired
administration
modality.
Nasal and other mucosal spray formulations (e.g. inhalable forms) can
comprise purified aqueous solutions of the active compounds with preservative
agents
and isotonic agents. Such formulations are preferably adjusted to a pH and
isotonic state
compatible with the nasal or other mucous membranes. Alternatively, they can
be in the
form of finely divided solid powders suspended in a gas carrier. Such
formulations may
-72-



CA 02528587 2005-12-07
WO 2005/004799 PCT/US2004/018624
be delivered by any suitable means or method, e.g., by nebulizer, atomizer,
metered dose
inhaler, or the like.
Formulations for rectal administration may be presented as a suppository
with a suitable carrier such as cocoa butter, hydrogenated fats, or
hydrogenated fatty
carboxylic acids.
Transdermal formulations may be prepared by incorporating the active
agent in a thixotropic or gelatinous carrier such as a cellulosic medium,
e.g., methyl
cellulose or hydroxyethyl cellulose, with the resulting formulation then being
packed in a
transdermal device adapted to be secured in dermal contact with the skin of a
wearer.
W addition to the aforementioned ingredients, formulations of this
invention may further include one or more accessory ingredients) selected from
diluents, buffers, flavoring agents, binders, disintegrants, surface active
agents,
thickeners, lubricants, preservatives (including antioxidants), and the like.
The formulation of the present invention can have immediate release,
sustained release, delayed-onset release or any other release profile known to
one skilled
in the art.

The binding of the compounds of the present invention to (3-lactamase
was also measured by isothermal titration calorimetry. Isothermal titration
calorimetry
does not only measure the binding affinity of inhibitors but also dissects the
enthalpic
and entropic components to binding, thus allowing identification of the forces
involved
in the association reaction. In general a binding reaction characterized by a
favorable
enthalpy change indicates that the inhibitor establishes strong interactions
with the target,
whereas an inhibitor characterized by unfavorable binding enthalpy is driven
by non-
specific hydrophobic interactions, i.e., a tendency to escape water rather
than a strong
attraction to the target (Velazquez-Campoy et al., (2001) Arch. Bioclum.
Biophys. 390,
169-I75; and Ohtal~a et al., (2002) Protein Science 11, 1908-I9I6).

These experiments, in combination with the inhibition assays, indicate
that the compounds identified in this disclosure bind to the wild type as well
as drug
resistant beta lactaimases v~ith favorable binding enthalpies. This is a very
in~porLant
characteristic from the point of view of further optimization since it
facilitates the
achievement of extremely high affinities and low susceptibilities to dung
resistant
lnutations and naturally occurring polymorphisms.
EXAMPLE 15. Activity Against Clavulanic Acid Resistant Mutants
As discussed above, the use of (3-lactam-based ~3-lactamase inhibitors has
led to the appearance of infectious microorganisms that carry mutated versions
of the
beta lact~mase enzyme that are not efficiently inhibited by beta lactamase
inhibitors
-98-

currently in clinical use (clavulanic acid, sulbactam, tazobactam) (Bonomo et
al, 1997).
Three of the most important mutations are M69I, R244S and E104K. The mutations
M69I and R244S significantly lower the affinity of clinically used beta
lactamase
inhibitors whereas the mutation E104K does not have a direct effect on the
affinity of
those molecules but increases the hydrolysis rates of extended spectrum
antibiotics.
Compounds of the present invention were tested against these mutations as
sho~xm in
Table 13. As shown in Table 13, while the existing clinical inhibitors lose
potency
between one to over two orders of magnitude, compounds of the present
invention
maintain equivalent potency against wild type and drug resistant mutants, and
in many
I O cases exhibit better potency against drug resistant mutants.

The strains were processed according to procedures recommended by
ATCC, or procedures that are routinely used. Single colonies of each organism
were
picked for purification to generate pure working cultures. Prior to each
experiment each
strain was subcultured on a fresh Mueller-Hinton agar plate (MHA).
Ifaoculuua
Inocula for the MIC assays were prepared by transferring a tiny portion of
one colony from a MHA plate to 2 ml of Mueller-Hinton broth (MHB) such that
the
estimated cell density was about 10' colony forming unit (CFU)/ml. This cell
suspension
was then further diluted 10-fold (to 106 CFU/ml) by transferring the 2 ml cell
suspension
to 18 ml of MHB. Addition of SO ~,1 of this dilute cell suspension to 50 ~ul
of growth
medium yielded the desired cell density, namely about 5 x 104 CFU/well, or S x
105
CFU/ml.
Br~t12 lVlicf°odilutioh Ps oceduy°e
The MIC value of oxacillin was determined using the broth microdilution
procedure recommended by the National Committee of Clinical Laboratory
Standaxds
(NCCLS, 2000). This procedure was also used to determine whether any of the
inhibitors
exhibited antimicrobial activity.
~~IICAssays with ~xczcillirr.
The MIC experiments were performed in duplicate in 96-well microtiter
plates using MHB. A stoclc solution of 2.6 mg/0.5 ml was prepared in
dimethylsulfoxide (DMS~). A total of 8 two-fold serial dilutions were made
with
~1~~~. Initial o~~a~;illin doses used were (~,ghnl)e 6~., 32, 16, 8~ ~, 2, 19
an~~ Oo~. Doses
were adjusted in the confirmatory experiment, if needed, in order to establish
an actual
MIC ~ralue.
To each well of a 96 well microtiter plate was added 4.7.5 ~,1 of MHB. A
volume of 2.5 ,ul of each dilution of oxacillin was then transferred to
appropriate wells
containing the medium. All wells, except the sterility control wells, were
then inoculated
with 50 ~.1 of a diluted cell suspension to give a anal volume of 100 ltl and
a final cell
density of 5 x 104' CFU/well. The volume in the sterility control wells was
adjusted to
100 ~.l with MHB. A sterile pipette tip was used to mix the contents of each
well (one tip
was used going from the low to the high concentration in the same column). The
-101-



CA 02528587 2005-12-07
WO 2005/004799 PCT/US2004/018624
microtiter plates were covered with the lids and were placed in large
Stratagene Big Blue
plates (Cat. # 400041). Four large kimwipes moistened with tap water were
placed near
the edges of the Stratagene plates to prevent evaporation of the medium. The
microtiter
plates were incubated for at Ieast 24 hours at 35°C. The plates were
then evaluated for
growth in each well. Controls included: medium sterility and negative control
(medium
and bacteria only).
MIC Assays with Compouyads of the P~°esent Invehtiof2
The procedure used to determine the antimicrobial activity of the
compounds of the present invention was identical to the broth microdilution
procedure
described above with the exception of the preparation of the stock solutions.
Stock
solution at concentration of 40.96 mg/0.5 ml was prepared in DMSO for each of
the
compounds. A total of 8 two-fold dilutions were then made in DMSO. A volume of
2.5
~Cl of each dilution was delivered to appropriate wells. The initial doses
used were
(~,glml): 512, 256, 128, 64, 32, 16, 8, and 4.
Criteria fog MIC clctea~ynination
A numerical code was used to evaluate the extent of growth as indicated
below.
0: absence of growth
1: barely visible (faint) growth
2: fair growth but less than the negative solvent control
3: growth is equivalent to the negative solvent control.
The lowest dose at which no visible growth is observed was detenr~ined to
be the MIC' ~ralue.
Il~lc~ta°i.~: ~'hstetaa
The effect of the four compounds of the present in~rention on oxacillin
resistance of the MI~SA strains was determined using a matrix system. The ~3-
lactamase
inhibitors were tested at 5 doses against up to eleven concentrations of
oxacillin. The
highest dose of oxacillin and inhibitors used were at least one dose above the
MIC value,
with the exception of compound FL203 which was tested at a high dose of 512
~,l/ml
which was not bacterioto~ic to an y of the strains used. A 96-well microtiter
plate was
used for the matrix system. The procedure was identical to that described

a~~ap~'::la~z~ab~l,~cI+)
was isolated via ~iagen (~alencia, CA) mini prep. The gene for AmpC was
amplified in
two pieces via polyrrmrase chain reaetion, ligated and purified by agarose gel
electrophoresis. Tlae ligated gene was inserted into a pET200 vector via a
TO1~0
reaction (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA). Correct gene and plasmid sequence was
verified by
standard DNA sequencing.
EL21(DE3) (Invitrogen) cells were transformed by heat-shocl~ with the
prepared plasmid. These cells were grown to an OD6oo of 0.8 at 37 °C.
Isopropylthiogalactoside (IPT(1) was added to 1 mIe~, incubation temperature
decreased
to 25 °C and the cells were grown for an additional 18 hours. After 18
hours, the E°, coli

was pelleted by centrifugation, and discarded. The growth media was
concentrated and
dialyzed versus 100 mM Tris, pH 7Ø This solution was run through an
equilibrated Q-
resin column, and washed with excess 100 mM Tris, pH 7Ø AmpC was eluted and
purity was found to be > 95% by SDS-PAGE.
The competitive inhibition of (3-lactamase was determined
spectrophotometrically using a Varian (Walnut Creek, CA) Cary 100 UV-Visible
spectrophotometer. (3-lactamase activity was followed by measuring the
hydrolysis of
nitrocefin, [3-(2,4-dinitrostyryl)-(6R, 7R)-7-(2-thienylacetamido)-ceph-3-em-4-

carboxylic acid, E-isomer], (Calbiochem, San Diego, CA) at 486 nrn. Inhibition
assays
were performed at 25 °C in 50 mM sodium phosphate, 5 % DMS~, pH 7Ø
Typical (3-
lactamase preparations hydrolyze nitrocefm substrate from 50 to 150 s 1. Under
these
conditions, the K,~ for AmpC (3-lactamase is 250 ~M and the k°at is 975
s 1. Penicillin G
(Sigma, St. Louis, M~) was also used as a substrate to determine K~ and
Iz°s~.
Lineweaver-Burk plots were used to determine the inhibition mechanism,
and several compounds were found to inhibit competitively. For determination
of
compound inhibition constants, protein was held at 5 nM, with nitrocefin
substrate at 167
~,M and a varying inhibitor concentration. Inhibitor was added to protein and
incubated
for ten minutes before the addition of substrate. Inhibition constants were
determined by
measuring the loss of (3-lactamase activity with increasing inhibitor
concentrations and
fitting the data to standard equations for competitive inhibition.
Isothermal titration calorimetry was performed on a high-precision VP-
ITC titration calorimeter (Microcal Inc., Northampton, MA). [3-Lactamase
solutions
were titrated with inhibitors in 50 mM sodium phosphate, 2% DMS~, pH 7.0, with
j3-
lactamase con centTatiotis ranging from 15 to 25 ~~I~1I arid inhibitor
concentrations ranging
from 300 to 1000 ~1~I. The lleaa evolved from each injection was obtained by
integrating
the calorimetric signal. Heat of binding was obtained as the difference
between the heat
of reaction and the heat of inhibitor dilution. Data were analyzed using
Csrigin 7.0
(~riginLab Corporation, Northampton, MA).
These methods can also be used to express and assay recombinant TEM-1
variant of (3-lactamase.

Screening of compounds for inhibitory activity showed several compounds with
inhibitory activity in the high nanomolar to Iow micromolar range. Isothermal
titration
calorimetry was undertaken to determine the thermodynamic characteristics of
binding to
AmpC ~3-lactamase. Most compounds tested bound with favorable enthalpic
contributions, although the magnitude of the enthalpic contribution varied
greatly
between the compoulads. Several compounds bound with nM affinity.
